Here is your difference in steering bwetween a 70mm stem and a 35mm stem with straight 800mm bars. A video to make the scribbely lines more understandable: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bYf6TE4obQUwvhJG7 As you can see, the rotation diameters are virtually same (406mm vs 401mm). That's about a 1% difference. Your hands will travel about the same amount: 212mm vs. 210mm for a 30° handlebar turn. That's less than a 1% difference. What is slightly different is, of course the the "angle of attack" from which your hand will start moving, but that is because a longer stem will stretch your upper body position...

iceman2058 Liked a product review Affordable Excellence: EXT Vecta Coil Shock Tested
1/25/2026 4:36am
We’ve been testing EXT products for quite a few years by now, and we’ve always been impressed by their performance and “trail feel”. There were of course teething problems with some of the early versions, like the overly harsh tunes and air spring setups of the first ERA forks or noisy, clunky rebounds on the first generations of the Storia shocks. EXT has learned a lot since those days, and the current crop of products is nothing short of excellent. When the company launched the Vecta, they stated that it was built by “recycling” some aspects of previous designs...

Hi, long time WC media guy here (14 years long).. I'm also very curious to hear some names and facts about this from you But in the meantime let me share some of my own. Each team is allowed to register photographers and videographers (each team then receives a set number of photo and video bibs for the season). if someone doesnt work for a team they can register as independent media once they have letters of assignment from a verified media outlet. there are little to no restrictions as to what can be shot/posted. This hasnt changed since the...

1/12/2026 10:46am
No. The 50mm needle is actually longer than the 55mm needle. So if you run a 50mm needle with 55mm of stroke you will be activating the HBO earlier and for longer (as a % of the stroke). Think about it: 50mm needle activates the last 20% of 50mm = last 10mm of stroke (40mm free stroke until HBO). Same 50mm needle in a 55mm stroke shock = 55-40 = last 15mm stroke have HBO or 15/55=27% HBO I can't remember the % it's either 15 or 20. But either way- increasing stroke without changing parts will give you more...

1/12/2026 10:46am I was thinking ingen reverse. But how does the HBO reach bottom? The needle is cone shaped, but will it at some point completely block the hole, and case hydraulic lock if its to long?
